Some Sad News and a New Job Card

Hello Again Folks.    I got some shock news yesterday that My dear friend Jan's husband Peter sadly passed away.   It was his 60th Birthday on the 11th May and they both came over to see us on that day.    He was looking after Jan all the while she went through her treatment and then after her op in February this year.   We as a family as still in shock.   My heart goes out to Jan,  and I hope you can join me in sending her some positive vibes to help her get through the coming weeks.  

My card today is a commission for someone changing jobs.   I do love this card as it can do for so many different occasions.    The image was one from Card-making Downloads and so therefore easily put together.   A bag was required with this card too.       Hope you are all ok, and those who are suffering take care of yourselves.   
  Hugs Rita xxxx

Dear Rita
Oh my goodness that is such heartbreaking news. On reading your title post I was readying myself to read that Jan had suffered a terrible set-back, never imagining I would read this. He was so young.
Of course it goes without saying that I will keep Jan (and all of you) in my thoughts.
Your choice of words is so perfect on this stunning card.
Wishes to you and Jan
Lynne

Very sad news Rita, 60 is so young. It must have been so hard to make such a beautiful card with this on your mind.

Hazel said...

Rita, firstly I am so so sorry to read about Jan's husband my heart goes out to her, she has been through so much this year as it is. Secondly your card is beautiful and thirdly I can't believe that big sister of mine not telling me that she had read your blog, she seems to get a better signal than me, I will have words with her. Thinking of you all at the sad time Hazel xx

Words and Pictures said...

I'm so sad and sorry to hear your news, Rita - and so sorry to be so slow in catching up too... I will indeed send as many positive vibes as I can in Jan's direction and in yours. What a horrible shock.

It's a lovely card, and I'm sure Lynn will appreciate the thought and care you've put in to it, especially at such a rough time.
Love and hugs,
Alison xx

Oh dear, I saw your later post, scrolled down to see what had taken place. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your friend, and pass along to his wife. I can well imagine how devastated she must be, and after her recent battles, even more so to lose her life's partner & caregiver. Please give her a warm hug from me, since I can't do it personally. It seems we've reached that age where this kind of thing happens but it is never easy to face. God Bless & hugs to all of you, who will help Jan get through this. Also, a beautiful card too. Well done.
